Revolutionary Website Takes the Purse Pain out of Clothes Shopping


WELLINGTON, Nov. 20 /NZPA-AsiaNet/ --


This week’s Australian launch of a revolutionary website strives to solve age-old problems faced by

dieters and parents.  SizeXchange, based in Hanmer Springs, New Zealand, solves the problem

body downsizers face of finding clothing to wear when they are on their way to reaching their goal

dress size. It also solves the problem parent’s face of finding clothes that fit as their children

constantly grow out of them. Founded by New Zealand-based Becky Siame and Sandi Corbishley,

the website allows downsizers to purchase clothing that they will only wear for a short time, via a

simple points system.


SizeXchange is an online exchange website, where subscribed members can Xchange their clothes

using Xchange Points.  A key element is that the exchange is cash free, that is, you earn points

through sales and use those points for purchases.  Once a subscriber loses weight, or reaches

another dress size, they can list their no longer needed clothing on the SizeXchange website, via our

unique count down pricing system. The points earned can then be used to purchase other sizes that

they will only wear for a short time, as they continue to lose weight, or otherwise grow out of them.



“Clothing is a huge problem for downsizers like me,” says Ms Siame.  “As I lose weight, I need

clothing that I will only wear for a short time, but don’t want to pay a lot of money for them.  I found

that other downsizers shared this problem, and it was out of this thinking that SizeXchange was

developed. It’s a place where you can get clothing and all the motivational, dietary, image and fitness

advice you need to lose the weight and keep it off for good!”


“Being a mom of 3 teenage boys, I have constantly faced the money issue of needing to buy new

clothes as my boys grow.” says Sandi Corbishley, Becky’s business partner.  “Now there is an

affordable option out there, so parents don’t need to pay retail prices for clothing their children will

only be wearing for a matter of months”


SizeXchange brings traders together for mutual benefit, and unlike auction sites where the items are

for sale and the sale prices can be driven higher by bidding, subscribed members of SizeXchange

exchange their no longer needed clothing for points, and then use those points to grab clothing in the

size they need, when they need it, and only pay for the shipping/postage.


For further information Becky & Sandi will be in Melbourne, (24th-27th November), Sydney (27th
